ext4: retry allocations conservatively Now that we no longer try to reserve metadata blocks for delayed allocations (which tended to overestimate the required number of blocks significantly), we really don't need retry allocations when the disk is very full as aggressively any more. The only time when it makes sense to retry an allocation is if we have freshly deleted blocks that will only become available after a transaction commit. And if we lose that race, it's not worth it to try more than once. Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
